Meta is installing new tracking software on US-based employees' computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its artificial-intelligence models, part of a broad initiative to build AI agents that can perform work tasks autonomously, the company told staffers in internal memos .
What the hell would mouse movements even be useful for outside of things already better achieved by frameworks like Playwright? Are they planning to let AIs control desktop peripheral input? For it to be useful you’d need the AI to have full screen visibility and if you have that, why not just script the mouse movement to where you want it to go?
It’s all good, just wait. He’ll drop 4 or 5 billion on something involving this and he’ll lose it.
He’s had one good idea which he got lucky with, bought out others to monopolise. Everything else he’s done is shit, not just turned out to be shit but is genuine shit.

Yes. Since 1-2 years ago there’s been an AI browser war, where tech companies are racing to have LLM agents browse the internet for you.
Exactly what they are pushing for, see Microsoft Recall, Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, etc.
